By now it must be obvious to the world that Israel seems an like an island of stability in a Middle East sea of rage and violence. Just look at the mass protests, government massacres, slashed throats, Internet cut-offs, public rapes, brutal dictators. Meanwhile, Israel is calm, America is welcomed, and foreigners do not have to fear for their life. What have we been missing in this country about the truth regarding the Middle East. The headlines now also show the big lie we have been fed: "Israel is at the core of all problems in the Middle East." It looks like each Arab country has its own stew of problems that have nothing to do with Israel--and everything to do with how these countries have evolved.
